Skinny Burrito

This is a no guilt burrito.  No really there IS such a thing, and it's on my plate!  You can totally rock this too.  It's super easy.

Skinny Burrito  (Makes 4 servings) 

 

1 lb. ground turkey

1/2 cup beef or chicken stock

1 tbsp. chili powder (more if you like it spicy)

1 tbsp. cumin

1 tsp. salt

1/2 tsp. pepper

1 tbsp. olive oil

1 can corn

1 can black beans

1/3 cup of favorite low fat shredded cheese (I like sharp cheddar)

1 package of Garden Spinach Herb tortilla

 

Pico de Gallo

1 container grape tomatoes

1/2 red onion

1 jalapeno

1/2 cup fresh cilantro or parsley

1 lime

pinch of salt and pepper

 

Skinny Mexican Cream (like sour cream but healthy)

1 cup Greek yogurt

1/2 lime

1/2 tsp. Mexican oregano (or regular)

 

1. Chop the tomatoes in half and add to a large bowl.  Chop the onion, jalapeno, and cilantro and add to the bowl.  Squeeze fresh lime juice and season with salt and pepper to your taste.  Set aside to let the flavors all come together.

2.  In a large skillet add a little olive oil and brown the turkey.  Add the seasonings and chicken stock and stir to combine.  Let this simmer until most of the liquid has evaporated.

3.  In a small bowl combine all the ingredients for the Skinny Mexican Cream and mix well.

4.  Drain and rinse both the beans and corn.

5. Build your burrito. Start with the tortilla flat on your plate then add a little cheese (you can omit this step), then lay your browned turkey on top, add a tablespoon or two of the beans and corn, add pico de gallo, and you can put a little of the Skinny Mexican Cream inside too.  Remember not to stuff your burrito too full or it will fall apart.  Roll it up and tuck in the sides and roll one more time.  Top with pico de gallo, shredded cheese, and a little more of the cream.

Enjoy a guilt free, Skinny Burrito!
